Two escaped dogs savaged a flock of pregnant sheep, killing 22 and injuring another 48, before the out-of-control American XL bulldogs were shot. A farmer turned his gun on the pair of escaped animals that subjected his livestock to a brutal attack on a Welsh farm.
The financial cost of the incident, including the numerous deaths and injuries, amounted to more than £14,000.
The owner of the two dogs – David Hughes, 26, of Pen y Wern, Rhosllanerchrugog – appeared at Wrexham Magistrates’ Court where he admitted being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and being the owner of a dog worrying livestock. Hughes was banned from keeping dogs for five years and ordered to pay £900 in fines.
I was confused why you wrote this about bulldogs at first. As this is what I’m pretty sure all Americans think of bulldogs.
Short cuddley little guys who just love to be couch potatoes and slobber everywhere.
Then I realized this article is talking about pitbulls…never heard them called American xl bulldogs, always just pitbulls.
Learn something everyday.
I’d never heard the term either here in the US.
Apparently a “bully” is a pitbull/bulldog cross, and XL is a larger variety.
